解读多元构式隐喻的句法结构——兼与二元构式对比

Study on the Syntactic Structure of Multi-constructionMetaphor: Comparison with Dual-construction

传统的AB型二元构式隐喻中,二元语义体映射的单向性决定了其认知域的划分与句法结构基本一致,主项A与谓项B的映射具有不可逆性;以ABC型三元构式为代表的多元构式隐喻的主项与谓项在句法形式上进行倒置之后映射依然成立。此外,二元构式虽然可以正向推导为多元构式,多元构式却不能够无条件地逆向缩减为二元构式。多元构式隐喻的核心是关系体映射,其背后反映的是动词性的概念隐喻过程。

In traditional AB-typed dual-construction metaphor,the uni-directivity of double-semantic mapping determines the overall unity of its cognitive division and syntactic structure,in which subject A and predicate B form an irreversible mapping.However,the mapping of multi-construction metaphor represented by ABC type also makes sense when subject and predicate are reversed in syntax.Besides,dual-construction can be deduced into multi-construction while multi-construction cannot be decreased into dual-construction reversely without any conditions.The core of multi-construction metaphor is relational mapping,which reflects the mapping process of verbal conceptual metaphor.
